Pacific Southwest / Re: Headlines About California...

Last post by Max Rockatansky - Today at 11:03:09 PM

I don't get how all these folks coming out of the Bay Area headed towards Tahoe hasn't discovered that 88 and 89 is the optimal way to get there.  Something feels off to me about rushing to Lake Tahoe only on normal people highways like I-80 and US 50. 

While US 395 is a very nice and scenic modern highway, I would hesitate to call it "most scenic in the state."  I'm not sure what I would call "most scenic" but stuff like several sections of 1 and 49 come to mind right away in the Caltrans stock.

Ha! Illinois 103 is the last numbered route in Illinois for which I have zero mileage (bannered routes notwithstanding).

And I'm sure I have many, many routes in IL without any mileage at all.

Road Enthusiasts Meetings / Re: 2025 road meets

Hi everyone... I was going to postpone it because of my surgery recovery but now I'm seeing people booked flights and rooms and I'm thinking that an alternative person should instead host it. I'll talk it over with Mike and let you all know ASAP. He might be able to step in, or I will pass it off to someone else.

Whatever works best for you works for me.  I haven't booked yet and I'm already taking a decent amount of time off this year, so it's not a problem for me if this ends up being a meet for another time.  That said, if this does end up happening as currently scheduled, I wouldn't mind booking this week, next week at the latest, especially since this is already closer than I usually cut it.

The likelihood is that it will happen, and I would say it stays on the list.

...especially if stops for the tour have already been considered.  Could be easy to choose a place to meet up for lunch.

It's not hard to figure out what the Williamsport, Wilson, and Antietam stops were supposed to be.  Not sure what we were supposed to do at Falling Waters, however.  Not sure what to add PA, except maybe a restroom stop at the welcome center (Williamsport/Wilson before and Antietam/drive through VA/WV after?).  Other than that it's finding a restaurant.

There's also a bridge in Sharpsburg.

I didn't even see the list of proposed stops.

Welcome from Seattle by way of Chicago! Did you come up with Delmarpa? That would've been a nice northern complement to Delmarva.

I was driving through the area near the Samsung construction zone, and I saw a tent with a group of people at FM 3343. It turned out it was the official groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the FM 3343 overpass. I missed the main event, but there was still some activity and I took these photos.

When leaving the event I saw a car-carrier with a load of Teslas going to a parking lot on the southeast corner of the intersection. That parking lot is the site where Teslas are loaded onto trains.

Welcome! / Re: Hello from DelMarPa!

(I couldn't find an official name for it...)

Hello everyone! I'm from the pennsylvania-maryland-delaware area

Just slightly too far west to be called the Delaware Valley?

ahhhh, that's that one. Yes I am very much a part of that; I think i was mistaking it for delco and blotting it out of mind. I feel like where I live the term is just not used often;  next time I'm home i'll take a closer look and see if I'm completely mistaken or not.

Specifically, it was probably the enigma that is Maryland 591.

Welcome from New York! I actually have the below photo from MD-591 as the wallpaper on my laptop.

That's sick! None of my backgrounds are related to roads, but my dad's is DE 404 (at least sometimes, it cycles).
